@CrazedWD Be the change you want to see in the world. Stand up and speak what you believe. I'm done pretending it's the game that is the issue. It's not. WoW is the only game this happens in in the MMO space. The only games more toxic to encounter players from are Overwatch and League.

@RGuy505 @KesslerCOIL @HoshizoraOW You don't have to pay for character, you can stack golds to buy them + character not being available is not an issue like in overwatch.

you should not be able to hide your ranks in overwatch competitive idc if blizzard wants to stop toxicity in that regard fix the matchmaking so we get people at our actual rank rather than some hidden MMR we can’t even see

@Blizzard_Ent You need to fix this error in overwatch 2 where players keep getting stuck in a " applying update" loop right as they find a game. I'm suspended for 15 minutes because of your programming in what I assume is a loss for me. Embarrassing dude

@ArchieCarnall @ChibiAcer @Phyerx That was posted in 2020 and depicts top 500 experience. The problem with 2020 was imbalanced metas. The only time there was no meta in Overwatch was season 21 2020 because of hero pools. Which everybody decided was a horrible idea. Bad year for the game overall.

@BlizzardCS Overwatch keeps kicking me out of queue with an "applying update" issue and gives me a leaver's penalty. Is there any fix coming soon?

@hh_varuna @SamitoFPS While I don’t think AA is broken, I will say that most of the people I’ve met tend to play without it on overwatch so they don’t have to risk it’s inconsistency. It takes more time for practice, but people would preform better overall without it if they really bothered trying.

@BlizzardCSEU_EN hey Blizzard. My son is trying to merge two overwatch accounts from PC and PlayStation. It hasn’t worked yet - is there a timeframe for this to work or is there an issue? He’s paid for lots of content on both accounts and I don’t want this lost. Thanks

@spookyaddison unfortunately, this is a problem with all competitive titles. take overwatch for example so many balance issues and ranked issues, I would be here all year, but people keep buying their admirably insanely good skins so they think they are doing something right

Competitive #Overwatch sucks right now. I have no motivation to grind when the matchmaking is such garbage. Why the hell is a top500 player in my mid-plat match? @PlayOverwatch fix your garbage matchmaking.

The Overwatch 2 Free Battle Pass Items are so forgettable. I play the game on unranked to have a bit of fun but other than that, yeah, the system is extremely unrewarding. I heard they’re gonna fix it in Season 3 so hopefully it’s better then.

what ******** is overwatch’s problem 😭 I’d rather be ranking down and up instead of just staying still at the same rank — I feel like I’m improving but I don’t know if I am 😭😭

5 times in a row now 3 people on my team quit each time. It's tank and dps. Is something happening that's causing this?! Why is this game so broken? #overwatch

New #Overwatch heroes will likely only cause further issues. Now look at a game like Fortnite, which built the modern F2P model. It added all the sorts of items that flipped the meta regularly AND CAPITALIZED on that. Shifting the balance…
